CCITT

American Wire Gauge. An indication of wire size. The heavier the gauge, the lower the AWG number, and the lower the impedance.

Bipolar 8 Zero Substitution. Encoding scheme for transmitting clear channel signals over a T1 line.

The ability to reconfigure the DSU/CSU and restore data circuits through an external backup device.

The range of frequencies that can be passed by a transmission medium, or the range of electrical frequencies a device is capable of handling.

Bursty Error Seconds. A second in which more than one but less than 320 CRC6 error events have occurred.

A signal in which successive ones (marks, pulses) are of alternating positive and negative polarity, and in which a zero (space, no pulse) is of zero amplitude.

Binary digit. The smallest unit of information, representing a choice between a one or a zero (sometimes called mark or space).

The insertion of ones into the outgoing bit stream to enforce ones density requirements.

A method of allocating digital signal level 0 (DS0) channels as a group rather than individually.

Bits per second. Indicates the speed at which bits are transmitted across a data connection.

Bipolar Violation. In a bipolar signal, a one (mark, pulse) which has the same polarity as its predecessor.

A sequence of successive bits (usually eight) handled as a unit in data transmission.

Consultative Committee on International Telegraphy and Telephony. An advisory committee established by the United Nations to recommend communications standards and policies. It was renamed ITU in March 1993.

CD

Carrier Detect. The received line signal detector. V.24 circuit 109.

channel

A bidirectional DS0, voice, or data path, for electrical transmission between two or more

 

points. Also called a circuit, line, link, path, or facility.

channel allocation

Assigning specific DS0 channels in the device to specific interfaces (Network, DTE

 

Drop/Insert, etc.).

CHAP

Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol. A security technique that allows a user

 

password to be encrypted for transmission.

character

A letter, figure, number, punctuation, or other symbol.

CID branch

Customer Identification branch or the DSU/CSU menu tree.

client

A device that receives a specific service, such as database management, from a server.

CLOCK IN interface

The external clock interface on the DSU/CSU.

ClrReg branch

Clear Performance Registers branch of the DSU/CSU menu tree.

Cnfig branch

Configuration branch of the DSU/CSU menu tree.

coding
